Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A man starts a conversation on his father's old CB radio changing the future in the process.

Answer: Frequency

Trivia Bit - "Anachronisms: During a 1969 sequence, a wide-angle camera scans Manhattan (from Queens). On the left, for an instant, the completed World Trade Center is visible. It was not completed in 1969." (Trivia courtesy of IMDb.com)
2. For the time jump in this movie the characters have to jump off of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Answer: Kate & Leopold

Trivia Bit - "In the film's original edit, Stuart was Leopold's descendant, which was Stuart's reason for specifically tracking him down. Criticism that this plotline also meant that Kate was Stuart's ancestor, and therefore Stuart's and Kate's earlier relationship was incestuous, lead to those scenes being cut." (Trivia courtesy of IMDb.com)
3. The travelers in this film need a DeLorean driving at 88mph and 1.21 gigawatts of energy.

Answer: Back to the Future

Trivia Bit - "The time machine has been through several variations. In the first draft of the screenplay the time machine was a laser device that was housed in a room. At the end of the first draft the device was attached to a refrigerator and taken to an atomic bomb test.

In the third draft of the film the time machine was a DeLorean, but in order to send Marty back to the future the vehicle had to drive the DeLorean into an atomic bomb test." (trivia courtesy of IMDb.com)
4. A World War II anti-radar experiment causes a naval ship to disappear in Virginia throwing two of the sailors into the future.

Answer: The Philadelphia Experiment

5. A man reads from an evil book and is sucked back into medieval times along with his Oldsmobile.

Answer: Army of Darkness

Trivia Bit - "That beat-up Olds that goes through time with Ash belongs to director Sam Raimi. He included it in most of his early movies, each time more banged up than the last. The items in the trunk of the Olds are not product placements; they're what Sam Raimi actually had in his trunk." (Trivia courtesy of IMDb.com)
6. A man dressed in a bunny suit saves a boy from being crushed by a jet engine (that has fallen through a wormhole) in his own bed.

Answer: Donnie Darko

Trivia Bit - "The movie was shot in 28 days, exactly the time-span of the movie itself, and on a budget of under $5 million." (Trivia courtesy of IMDb.com)
7. The crew of the starship Enterprise go back in time to retrieve two whales thus saving their future. Which "Star Trek" Film is this?

Answer: The Voyage Home

8. Two boys travel all over time in phone booth, collecting "personages of historical significance" and using them to get an A on their history report.

Answer: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Trivia Bit - "When Bill reads the assignment to Ted, he says, 'Express to the class how an important historical figure from each of your time periods would view the world of San Dimas, 1988.' His lips are actually saying, 'San Dimas, 1987' and the '1988' was dubbed later because of a delay in the movie's release." (Trivia courtesy of IMDb.com)
9. Dr. Evil has stolen Austin Powers' mojo and Austin must go back in time to retrieve it. Which Austin Powers movie is this?

Answer: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Trivia Bit - "Dr. Evil calls one of his creations "The Alan Parsons Project", spoofing the name of a band that enjoyed popularity during the late '70s and early '80s.
